365 daily meditations from the Pope.

This treasury of selected passages from the writings and addresses of perhaps the most impressive leader of the Catholic Church the world has ever known offers, as its editor suggests, "a harvest from the mind and heart of Pope Wojtyla." And so here is a chance for the modern reader, engaged in various daily tasks, to spend a few moments with the Pope each day of the liturgical year, contemplating his reflections on the mystery and the example of Christ; and on the church, man, the family, the lives of the saints, the meaning of holidays, and the place of faith in daily life. His personal concerns as expressed in these passages include such topics as "Sharing with Others," "To Be in Peace," "Consumer Society," "Family Prayer," and "The Great Divine Trial," about the meaning of his near-assassination. Through these pages of calm reflection each day of the year, all will find a moment of peaceful repose from the occupations of life.

A Year with John Paul II presents daily devotionals of his most important lessons and inspirational words to deepen readers’ reflections and meditations. “The reverberations of Pope John Paul II’s life and pontificate, the third longest in history, resounded through every nation on earth.” —Time Called the Pilgrim Pope, a pope of the people, John Paul II connected with his flock from the highest to the lowest.

Baum, an introduction by Bishop William Murphy, and a moving eulogy composed for the pope's funeral by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), A Year with John Paul II: Daily Meditations from His Writings and Prayers will take readers on a year-long spiritual journey with this deeply religious and inspiring man.
